One of the Gums by maggiemae

One of the Gums

This camp we are in has hundreds of trees. Most of them are numbered and there is a map.
Three Good Things:
1. Lost my diary for several days but found it hiding in the back of the couch!
2. Woke up with very bad back pain -I couldn't stand up! But it gradually improved during the day.
3. Lunch with friends at a village cafe -the staff were so disorganised, it was over an hour till we all got what we ordered! They didn't charge us the extra 15% it being Easter Friday.
What wonderful trees

They are certainly very magnificent. I see quite a few patches of Gums around NZ now and wonder if they've always been there and I haven't noticed so much when I was younger. Glad you found your diary and I hope your back sorts itself out!

Look at the storm cloud in the baack with beautiful light on the trees! That must have been a magnificent one that had been cut down.

@beryl Still not much good at bending, Beryl! Its difficult to do exercises in the van and its too public outside!

I can see where the word blue gum comes from....those tree trunks are very blue! Pretty area. Good job there were a few of you eating out so had plenty to talk about! Hope you’re moving well tomorrow!

Those gums certainly are very impressive! Good that you found your diary - that's about the most personal thing one can lose!

@kwiksilver the thought that it might have fallen out was horrifying, Gillian! Reading all my private stuff!
